Two of the most common questions I get from new students is how much time to study each week and how many months do I need to study for the Customs Broker exam. I recommend 4 to 5 months of study. Slow, consistent, and steady pays off. But as to how much time to study each week - that varies. I tell all my students to start with more time than they think is needed. We can always back off… but catching up is harder to do. And, I have never had a student call me after an exam and tell me - “Tom - I studied too much”. I have not got that call yet! So, remember, slow, consistent, and steady pays off.
We want our students to try to start during December and January if possible to get ready for the April Customs Broker Exam. And, starting in May and June is great for the October exam.
What if I start a little later? That’s OK, our course is set up to take you when you register… not a specific deadline. We have students that start at various times through out the year.
